Leave your business in good hands

We acquire small Australian businesses that have a proven track record, loyal customers and stellar reputations within the industries and communities they serve

For many owners, finding the right buyer matters. They want to know their employees and customers will still be looked after once they’ve handed over the keys to their business. We provide an alternative to corporate buy outs and industry rollups by offering you a local, relationship-driven approach to your business’s succession plan.

Our Approach

Your Questions,
Answered

  • We begin with an initial discovery call to better understand the business, why you started it and your reasons for considering a sale. If we both believe there's a good fit, we will initiate a focused two-week discovery process to formulate the details of a Letter of Intent (LOI). The LOI outlines the key terms of a potential deal and gives both parties a clear framework before any due diligence begins.

  • While every business is different, successful acquisitions usually reach an offer and acceptance within a 90-day window after the initial Letter of Intent has been issued.

  • We look for established, owner-operated businesses with at least $1M in annual revenue and a track record of consistent profitability. We are sector-agnostic but are particularly interested in B2B services, trade and industrial services, and businesses with loyal, recurring customer bases. If you think your business might be a good fit, we'd like to hear from you.

  • Valuation is based on a combination of factors, primarily earnings, revenue consistency, customer concentration, industry, and growth trajectory. As a general guide, small business acquisitions in Australia typically transact at between 3 and 5 times EBITDA, though the specific multiple will always reflect the individual characteristics of your business. We use standard valuation methodologies and will always explain our reasoning clearly.

  • Not at all. Many of the business owners we speak with are simply exploring their options and thinking about what the next chapter might look like. We are happy to have an early, no-obligation conversation even if a transaction is 12 or 24 months away. There is no pressure and no timeline unless you want one.

  • Every conversation stays between us. You decide who is involved, what is shared, and when. We are happy to formalise this with a mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement at any stage of the process.

  • Every deal is different. Offers are structured to reflect the specifics of your business and what we uncover together during the discovery process. Most small business acquisitions involve some combination of payment at settlement, seller financing, and a transition period where the owner remains involved for a defined time to ensure continuity.

  • We buy businesses to operate and grow them which means we need good people to stay. Retaining your team is in our interest as much as yours, and we will always discuss transition arrangements honestly before anything is agreed. In many cases, the transition period also creates natural opportunities for existing staff to take on greater responsibility and more senior roles within the business.

  • We believe that well run small businesses are the backbone of the Australian economy and that they deserve buyers who will care for them properly. Our principal has a background in business operations and a successful track record in building some of Australia’s most well-known brands today. We buy businesses we intend to keep operating for many years to come.

  • Yes. We look for businesses with a minimum of $1,000,000 in verifiable revenues recorded in the last financial year.
